Engaging students in free and open source (FOSS) projects can provide significant curricular benefits but is known to be challenging for both students and faculty. This paper reports on our efforts to mitigate these challenges through the creation and ...

Algorithms courses are a core part of many CS programs, but have received little focus in computing education, lacking statistical data about how they are generally taught. To remedy this, we present the results of the first large-scale comprehensive ...

Climate change is the "biggest threat modern humans have ever faced". The implications of the crisis are imminent and grave. As part of COP26, leaders from all over the world agreed to the Glasgow Climate Pact with the goal of limiting the increased ...

A liberal arts context offers unique opportunities for curricular innovation that can inform the implementation of computing curricula more broadly. The SIGCSE Committee on Computing Education in Liberal Arts Colleges has collected 18 model curricula ...

The paper aims at minimizing the skills gaps and skills shortages on the cybersecurity job market by empowering education and training institutions during the process of creation of new cybersecurity study programs. We provide a complex cybersecurity ...

We analyze a dataset of 51 current (2019-2020) Distributed Systems syllabi from top Computer Science programs, focusing on finding the prevalence and context in which topics related to performance are being taught in these courses. We also study the ...

Correctly applying distributed systems concepts is important for software that seeks to be scalable, reliable and fast. For this reason, Distributed Systems is a course included in many Computer Science programs. To both describe current trends in ...

The paper focuses on the students´ perception of the implementation of ICT in higher education, namely in their university education in the Czech Republic. The recent trends in higher education to implement various kinds of eLearning, hybrid ...

The number of computer science (CS) courses has been dramatically expanding in U.S. high schools (HS). In comparison with well-established courses in mathematics and science, little is known about how the decisions made by HS CS teachers regarding how ...

Courses in user-centered design, where students learn about centering design on the needs of individuals, is one natural point in which accessibility content can be injected into the curriculum. We describe the approach we have taken with sections in ...

Effective coordination between IT Transfer programs at two-year colleges and four-year transfer institutions is desirable to minimize repetition of content coverage and to allow two-year programs to properly prepare their students for transfer while ...

A number of educational jurisdictions in Canada and abroad are integrating coding and computational thinking (CT) concepts into their K-8 curriculum, however; very little investigation has been done comparing these nascent curricular reforms. This study ...

After the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and the IEEE Computer Society endorsed the recently completed Information Technology Curricula 2017 Curriculum Guidelines (IT2017) for Baccalaureate Degree Programs in Information Technology (IT) [1], ...

This poster presents an analysis of structure and content in introductory programming courses taught at tertiary art and design schools. Part of a more extensive study, the analysis provides a foundation for critically discussing how teaching ...

In an ever changing and globalizing work environment, Educational institutions in the field of Information Technology (IT) face a constant challenge in developing relevant and competitive courses and curricula that stay up to date with changes in ...

With the commencement of Information and communication Technology (ICT) in the globalized economy, contemporary life is dominated by the utilization of technologies. Therefore, many countries are striving hard to incorporate ICT in all facets of life ...
